They found me

Life comes at us fast

we are told to take risks

to expect the unexpected

but when life throws those curve balls and we must..

well we must learn to accept the unexpected

even if we said to ourselves “that’ll never happen to me”

Thinkin we never had to worry

Meaning we were never prepared in the first place

Meaning our hearts are breaking

Meaning we are growing stronger

…Ironic

Ironic that I feel connected

Connected to the pain

All the time

Smile or not

Connected to the good

Connected to the bad

Still wearing my smile

Just keeping it pushin

Just gotta keep going

Then more life quotes fill my head

What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger

God doesn’t give us more then we can handle

No one promised it’d be easy, they just promised it’d be worth it

Worth

Who’s worthy of this gift of life

And what happens when we can no longer see the worth

Maybe in life

Or maybe worse, what if we can no longer see the worth in ourselves

What happens then?

Is that making us stronger too

Life has me confused

Just writing these words bouncing in my brain

These words that tear at my heartstrings

The words that bring these tears to my eyes…

The tears that are keeping me up at night

Looking behind me and seeing those who love me behind me every step I take

I breathe easier knowing they’re there

That even when I may lose sight of my worth, they never do

Even when the fear gets the best of me

Or these tears keep escaping no matter how hard I attempt to never let them hit the surface

They know

They don’t let me,  get me

That’s where I see the worth in life

When I see their faces

When I feel their embrace

When they can be real with me, to make me be real with myself

They found me and they keep me from losing myself, they keep my feet on the ground.
